We feature artifacts from people who have lived in northeastern North Carolina for the last 12,000 years to present day. The region surrounds the Albemarle Sound, half-land and half-water with a unique history of maritime, farming, military, and industry.
The museum serves as an education and heritage tourism center. We invite you to become members, to volunteer and serve as part of the museum education corps. We also rent the facilities for business and social functions—please consider us for a meeting in a beautiful venue in downtown Elizabeth City.
The museum is the perfect place of orientation to become acquainted with the rich history and culture of the Albemarle Region. We also have an amazing gift shop with local craft works and Coast Guard-related memorabilia for you to enjoy!
We’re looking forward to welcoming and meeting you!
Don Pendergraft Director of Regional Museums
